This is a Debian testing system. Tried vnc4server, same problem it seems:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/chesstest/objcnttest$ vnc4server New 'belle:1 (folkert)' desktop is belle:1 Creating default startup script /home/folkert/.vnc/xstartup Starting applications specified in /home/folkert/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/folkert/.vnc/belle:1.log [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/chesstest/objcnttest$ ps xa | grep -i vnc 14026 pts/9 R+ 0:00 grep -i vnc socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3 setsockopt(3, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, [1], 4) = 0 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(6001), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.64.100")}, 16) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused) close(3) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, NULL, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 nanosleep({1, 0}, {1, 0}) = 0 write(2, "vncconfig: unable to open displa"..., 44) = 44 exit_group(1) = ? ALTOUGH: this one does not segfault anywhere.
